Kamran Hussain is the Liberal Democrat Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Leeds North West.

Meet Kamran Hussain

Welcome to my website.

I believe that every child has unique potential and as a Liberal I want to work to ensure that Liberal ladders of opportunity are planted so everyone can reach their potential.

I want you to join with me to ensure that a strong diverse Liberal Democrat voice is heard here in Leeds and nationally to champion those opportunities.

One of the greatest things about the Liberal Democrats is that they believe that no one shall be enslaved by conformity. I believe that this is a great Liberal value and that we should all shout about from the rooftops and say to every child born: be who you want to be, do what you want to do and don’t let society tell you who you are or put barriers in your way to what you can achieve.

I am proud that this country is enriched with diversity and that people are given equal opportunities to succeed irrespective of their gender, religion, race, colour, disability, sexual orientation or gender identity. I believe in building bridges between the various communities and not creating walls. And throughout my life, I am proud to say I have brought people together.

I was lucky to be born into a Liberal family. And it is the liberal values that I want my two young children to learn as they grow up in this world. As parents, we want our children to enjoy the benefits that we have enjoyed, from having a good education to travelling abroad. And a good education is a key to opening doors.

I was lucky to have attended local catholic schools. I was the first in my family to attend university. I am now a managing partner in a Headingley (Leeds) based law firm and have recently been nationally recognised for my work. I am proud to have beaten off competition from across the UK to win The British Muslim Awards 2018.

I am passionate about Europe and was privileged to lead the EU Referendum Campaign for Yorkshire and Humber Liberal Democrats. I believe that we are stronger, safer and better together and our children should continue to enjoy the opportunities that we have taken for granted.

The British public are quite right to be worried about the future. Brexit has brought uncertainty, NHS is lacking the funding it needs, and we are becoming less safe in our communities. In our proud nation, divisions sadly do exist, between the rich and poor, north and south and of course leave and remain areas. Brexit has brought these differences to the forefront. The Conservative Government, which is engulfed in deep divisions has made a mess of the negotiations. And our children will suffer the consequences.

I believe the Government must rise above internal political divisions and work with others to ensure that we can reach a deal that is both workable and in the interests of our children. And the deal, should ultimately be put to the people in a people’s vote. And if the people decide that the deal is not good enough, then they should have the option to Exit from Brexit and remain in the European Union.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my website.

WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT KAMRAN

“Kamran is an approachable person and listens before expressing his views. In the short time he has been Chair of the Yorkshire and Humber Lib Dems the organisation has started to move forward in a positive way, as he has set a vision and ensured that he and the team deliver. He sees the skills and abilities in people and encourages them to develop them.

Mathew Walker (former PPC for Harrogate)

“As the first Liberal Democrat Councillor in Rotherham since 2000, Kamran’s support to the local team in Rotherham over the years has been invaluable. His encouragement and guidance to me personally has been key to helping me build a winning team in Rotherham.”

Councillor Adam Carter (Rotherham)

“I have known Kamran for a number of years; and I am really pleased I know him. He is always calm, friendly and supportive. He is a committed Liberal Democrat who believes in the values of openness, diversity and freedom of speech. He is exactly the sort of person you want in the party. However, it is all well and good to have these values but what you also need is someone to act on them; and Kamran does just that, he is a “doer”, who makes things happen.
He has specifically helped the Grimsby and Cleethorpes Liberal Democrats by making us feel more closely connected with the region and the national party. It is so easy for us to feel we are out on-a-limb; and that we are ignored by the larger conurbations. Right from the start, Kamran was prepared to drive over and meet us, and listen to our concerns. He has also worked hard to bring people like Lord Dick Newby and Michael Meadowcroft to our area. This has really helped keep the party alive in our area. The Liberal Democrats have a presence in our area and Kamran has helped to nurture this presence.
Kamran Hussain if a man of great values, who makes things happen.”

Roy Horobin (Vice-Chair of Grimsby and Cleethorpes Liberal Democrats)

“A hardworking Liberal Democrat and forceful advocate of Liberalism, who is determined to serve the whole community."

Ian MacFadyen (Freelance Consultant. Former Chair of Leeds East North East Liberal Democrats)

“I first met Kamran some 20 years ago and have followed his development as a person and a campaigner. He is most impressive on both counts. He is a liberal to his core and brings a passion, determination and integrity to his politics which makes him a great asset for the Liberal Democrats.”

Lord Newby (Leader of the Liberal Democrats in the House of Lords)

“I have campaigned with Kamran across Yorkshire over several years and worked with him on strengthening our coverage in regional media. He is a well-informed Liberal, with a good grasp of local and national politics."

Thank you Leeds for Europe for organising The Great Northern Stop Brexit Conference in #Leeds. And thank you for inviting me to speak on “Reversing the Far-Right Surge - countering the rise of populism across the western world” - with Professor AC Grayling and former MP, Dennis MacShane

Following the vote this evening, in which Liberal Democrats and MPs across the house voted by a majority of 27 to take control of the parliamentary order paper from tomorrow, Leader of the Liberal Democrats Jo Swinson said:

"The attempt to shut down Parliament by Boris Johnson is authoritarian and anti-democratic. The fact that the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom wants to silence the people and their representatives shows that Boris Johnson will pursue Brexit at any cost, even at the cost of our democracy.

"That is why the Liberal Democrats, along with a majority of MPs in the House of Commons, have voted to take control of the order paper tomorrow.

"We look forward to voting for cross-party legislation to stop Boris Johnson’s plans for a No Deal exit on October 31st in their tracks."
